Sunflower Pair

5 x 7 Pastel on sanded la carte paper.  I used to work on this paper all the time, but now I prefer paper with a tighter "grit" like Kitty Wallis paper.   I found some of this while I was cleaning out my studio and have been experimenting with it.  I am happy with this painting.  However, I did another painting shortly after this one and dropped water on it....the sanded surface disappeared...and left a terrible spot.  I guess that is why I have switched papers.  I will keep this painting away from anything wet. Anyone have any favorite papers they like?
